Raptor traps guarantee reliable protection against cockroaches for your home and apartment

Aquafumigator "Raptor" is a system for eliminating insects using the chemical compound tsifentorin, which has the ability to paralyze the nervous system of adults

In gel form, the insecticide is especially effective, helping to get rid of insects quickly and reliably

Cockroach sprays are a convenient form of insecticide that kills these insects.

How do Raptor traps compare favorably with traps from other manufacturers?

Raptor cockroach traps are distinguished from similar products from other manufacturers by their high degree of efficiency. This is due to the use of potent insecticidal substances, which are based on organophosphorus compounds.

The company's drug Raptor has the following features:

effective prevention and disposal of cockroaches;
ease of use;
affects insects according to the “domino” principle - all insects in the room die;
the effect of the drug lasts for six months;
the bait smells pleasantly of vanilla and apricot;
one package is enough to fit in a one-room apartment.

Disadvantages of using traps

Among the disadvantages of such means of combating cockroaches, it is worth noting the following:

A large number of traps are needed if the apartment has several rooms.
Not effective if there are too many insects.
Used in combination with other drugs to achieve maximum results.

The instructions for the Raptor cockroach trap contain important information:

To ensure insects approach the traps, it is necessary to eliminate places of contamination and accumulation of crumbs and other food particles. It is especially important that insects do not have access to water - without it they are easier to deal with. To do this, the room must be thoroughly cleaned.
After all the rubbish has been collected, it is necessary to place washers in those places where cockroaches accumulate in large numbers, forming groups. An area of approximately ten square meters should contain at least two traps. For a small one-room apartment, 6 pieces of Raptor cockroach traps will be enough.

But this method will only work if there are few cockroaches in the room. If there are too many insects, then more radical methods of combating them should be used.

Devices should be replaced once every two to three months, since the aroma that attracts insects tends to erode and weaken. It is allowed to use other control drugs, except for aerosols, which, on the contrary, repel cockroaches from the bait.

Trap composition

The active ingredient in Raptor traps for killing cockroaches is lambda - cyhalothrin, which is a synthetic slow-acting substance, or chlorpyrifos.

Both substances have a contact-intestinal effect on insects. A small concentration of poison is enough for the poisoned parasite to reach its fellows and “share” with them the bait that sticks to its legs and body.

The filling inside the trap, in addition to the active substance, contains the bait itself, stabilizers, preservatives, food additives, water and 0.1% glycerin, which is its fatty base.

Aerosol Raptor

The composition of the Raptor aerosol against cockroaches includes three main components:

cypermethrin (0.2%);
tetramethrin (0.2%);
piperonyl butoxide (0.5%).

Cypermethrin has recently been used to create insecticides against cockroaches, but this substance has spread very quickly throughout the world. Since cypermethrin is a new product, cockroaches have not yet developed immunity to this poison.

Instructions for use:

Prepare the room for processing.
Close all windows and doors tightly.
Shake the can before spraying.
Spray the product in places where insects accumulate, under the sink, bathtub, baseboards, cracks in the floors. There should be 20-30 cm between the can and the treatment surface.
After treatment, you should wait 30 minutes, and only then ventilate the room well.

When processing a room, do not forget about the safety of yourself and your loved ones. All family members and animals should be removed from the room. Carry out disinfection in a special suit, gloves and gauze bandage.

Pros:

Instant action. The concentration of poisons allows you to immediately destroy an entire population of cockroaches.
Low cost - 200-300 rubles.
Easy to use.
Has a pleasant mint smell.

Minuses:

Toxicity. The spray is very toxic and can cause allergies or poisoning.
It evaporates quickly if disinfection is carried out in the hot season.
Traces may remain.

The principle of action on a cockroach

Pin
The Raptor cockroach trap is a plastic box, the walls of which are equipped with holes. It is through them that the insect gets inside and is attracted by the appetizing aroma of the bait.

By eating or simply touching it, the cockroach automatically becomes a carrier of the poisonous agent. The poison enters the insect’s body through its chitinous integument or through the digestive system.

The effect of the active components does not occur immediately, but after some time. During this period, the poisoned insect manages to infect many more of its relatives.

Thanks to its unique consistency, the bait retains moisture for a long time and does not lose its attractiveness to cockroaches.

Release forms

When making cockroach repellents, manufacturers use various methods to overcome the adaptive mechanism of insects. One such method: a combination of different insecticides. If resistance develops to one poison, the cockroach is killed by another. The poison can be in the form of a gel or an aerosol, and for each form it is advisable to use a different toxic substance. If the physiological features of insects were taken into account when developing the composition, the poison will be effective. This is exactly how the Russian brand Raptor approached the development of its line of cockroach repellents.

Raptor cockroach repellents are available in the following forms:

Gel. Viscous colorless substance in blue-white tubes.
Aerosol. A solution placed under pressure in a blue and white spray bottle.
Trap. White or black plastic box with poisonous bait. Packaged in packages of colors characteristic of the series, 4 (or 6) pieces each.
Aquafumigator. A metal container placed in a plastic container. An innovative tool.

The advisability of using each form depends on the degree of infection.

Gel: composition and mechanism of action on cockroaches

Raptor cockroach gel contains a broad-spectrum insecticide from the pyrethroid group, lambda-cyhalothrin. This highly effective toxic substance has a contact-intestinal effect. Once on the insect’s body, it partially penetrates the body through the spiracles and is partially swallowed when trying to clean the sticky gel from the legs and antennae. Paralyzes the nervous system.

The peculiarity of lambda-cyhalothrin is its delayed action. Death does not occur immediately, and the cockroach manages to infect its “compatriots.” The effectiveness is also enhanced by attractant substances that attract insects and encourage them to eat the poison. The preservatives included in the composition are responsible for the prolonged action. Thanks to them, the gel does not dry out for a long time, insecticides are not destroyed during prolonged exposure to the open air.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of Raptor gel:

Availability: you can purchase Raptor at any hardware store;
ease of use: the long spout makes it easy to distribute the gel even in hard-to-reach places, avoiding contact with the skin;
safety: the insecticide does not evaporate, it can be used in residential areas;
effectiveness: a carefully thought-out composition allows for complete destruction of the colony;
Raptor leaves no traces, its remains can be easily removed after disinfestation.

The product also has its disadvantages. One tube is enough for disinfestation of only 10 m2, which is not very economical. Cockroaches will not disappear immediately, but after a few weeks.

Instructions for use

Raptor gel against cockroaches is applied along baseboards and in places where insects accumulate in dotted strips with a distance of about 2 cm. The long spout eliminates the possibility of contact with the skin, so treatment can be carried out without gloves. If the gel accidentally gets on the skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water.

Disinsection will be more effective if:

treat not only the kitchen (where cockroaches are most often found), but also adjacent rooms;
Before using the product, do general cleaning.

If necessary, the treatment is repeated after 30 days. If there are too many insects, Raptor is applied as a solid line. The gel can be used in conjunction with traps. But it is not advisable to use it simultaneously with an aerosol: the smell of the latter will repel insects from the gel.

Aerosol: composition and mechanism of action on cockroaches

Aerosol Raptor against cockroaches contains cypermethrin (0.2%), tetramethrin (0.2%) and piperonyl butoxide (0.5%). The first refers to second generation pyrethroids. It is one of the most widely used insecticides in the world. Such popularity is ensured by a strong and stable contact-intestinal toxic effect on insects. Since cypermethrin began to be used relatively recently, cockroaches did not have time to develop resistance to it.

Tetramethrin is an insecticide-acaricide also classified as a pyrethroid. It is thanks to this that the aerosol acts not only on cockroaches, but also on other arthropods, including arachnids. This substance enters the body of insects through the respiratory tract, causing paralysis. Piperonyl butoxide is a synergist. It enhances the effect of both insecticides.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of the aerosol is instant results. Insects die immediately after contact with the solution. The product is quite economical. At the low price of the can, its contents are enough to treat 50 m2. Aerosol Raptor is easy to use. Has a pleasant mint aroma.

At the same time, there are a number of disadvantages:

Disappears quickly. Some cockroaches can avoid contact with poison. In this case, re-processing will be required.
The aerosol is toxic to warm-blooded animals; strict adherence to the instructions is required during processing.
Some surfaces may leave marks after treatment.

Instructions for use

Aerosol treatment is carried out according to the following algorithm:

Preliminary preparation of the premises. Products are hermetically sealed and thoroughly cleaned.
Isolation of the disinfestation area. Pets and people without personal protective equipment should not be in the premises. All windows, doors and vents are tightly closed.
Treatment. Raptor is sprayed in places where insects are most concentrated: along baseboards, under bathtubs and sinks, around sewer pipes, trash cans, behind cabinets, and refrigerators.

Shake the can vigorously before use. The distance from the can to the surface to be treated is 20 cm. After disinsection, the room is kept closed for 15–20 minutes, and then thoroughly ventilated. All work is carried out with gloves; The respiratory organs are covered with a respirator and gauze bandage.

Traps: composition and mechanism of action on cockroaches

The manufacturer chose lambda-cyhalothrin, an effective pyrethroid with a delayed action, as the active substance for the Raptor cockroach trap. The same substance is used in the gel. The lambda-cyhalothrin trap is a black disc-shaped box. The poisonous bait is inside. Attracted by the smell of attractants, cockroaches eat the poison. Due to the narrow openings for penetration, the insect is smeared in a toxic substance, and carries it to the colony, where it infects other individuals.

Among the new products in the series is the “Double Force” trap. Its formula uses fipronil and emmamectin benzoate. Both insecticides are harmless to mammals and at the same time have a pronounced nerve-paralytic effect on arthropods. Infection occurs by intestinal and contact methods, death occurs within 4 days. The toxic effects of the two poisons complement each other, allowing resistance to be overcome. This type of trap is white.

Advantages and disadvantages, instructions for use

Raptor traps have a number of advantages:

compactness and ease of use;
aesthetics: no marks or stains;
safety;
high efficiency;
prolonged action;
Availability: You can purchase the product at any hardware store.

The product also has disadvantages. This is a high consumption: for every 10 m2 you will need 2-3 devices. It will be difficult to cope with a large population using traps alone. According to reviews, the best effect is achieved by combining this product with others. For example, you can use an aerosol and then set traps that will destroy the surviving cockroaches.

Traps are easy to place in places that cockroaches visit most often.

Aquafumigator: composition and mechanism of action

Among the new products in the series against cockroaches, the Raptor aquafumigator stands out. The main active ingredient here is cyphenothrin. This is a broad-spectrum insecticide developed in Japan. Cockroaches have not yet developed tolerance to it. Cyphenothrin has a nerve-paralytic effect not only on adults, but also on their larvae. At the same time, it is completely harmless to humans and pets.

The poisonous substance is placed inside a metal container, which, in turn, is enclosed in a plastic container. The aquafumigator is activated upon contact with liquid: a thermal reaction begins and vapors that are poisonous to insects are formed.

Instructions for use

The aquafumigator is easy to use. A container with poison is placed in a special liquid (supplied). Leave the room for the duration of action (2–3 hours). Since you are not directly involved in the processing, there is no need to use personal protective equipment. After the aquafumigator’s operating life has expired, you can safely return to the premises: the insects are finished.

How not to buy a fake instead of the original?

Today there is a great demand for traps to get rid of cockroaches, so the chances of purchasing counterfeit goods instead of the original ones increase. Most often, scammers counterfeit products from well-known brands, such as the manufacturer of insecticidal preparations Raptor.

It also happens that a fake at first glance is no different from a real trap, and all its flaws are discovered only after some time. To protect yourself from such troubles, purchase insect traps should be made only in those stores that you trust.

Do not buy the drug at those retail outlets where the cost of the trap varies greatly in one direction or another from its average market price in the region.

Advantages and disadvantages

Raptor traps have a whole list of undoubted advantages:

they are easy to use and have a compact size;
after their use there are no stains or greasy marks;
absolutely safe: their contents are inaccessible to children and pets;
effective in controlling insects;
have a long service life;
You can buy the device at all hardware stores.

Along with the visible advantages, such funds also have a number of disadvantages:

for 10 sq. m area you will need to buy 2 or 3 traps;
cannot cope with large populations of insects.

To achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to combine traps with other drugs to kill cockroaches.

Instructions for use

Before using Raptor traps, you must thoroughly clean your apartment, paying special attention to hard-to-reach surfaces.
Place plastic boxes wherever cockroaches often gather and actively move around.
On a surface area of 10 square meters. m. you will need 2 or 3 traps. This means that for a one-room apartment it is enough to buy just one package. Each package contains 6 – 8 traps. However, this expense is advisable if there is a small population of insects in the apartment. If there are a lot of parasites, then the number of traps should be increased.
Traps must be replaced with new ones every 2 months, since the aroma emanating from them gradually evaporates. This means that the effectiveness of the drug is reduced.

During the period of using Raptor traps, aerosols cannot be used to kill cockroaches, as their smell will scare the cockroaches away from the traps.

Raptor traps

Another remedy against cockroaches is traps in the form of plastic boxes in which poisoned bait is stored. The traps have holes where the cockroaches crawl in, attracted by the bait. The composition of the product includes toxic enteric contact substances that have a prolonged effect. They do not kill the cockroach immediately, so the barbel goes to other individuals and infects them. After some time, the colony begins to rapidly decline, and the process continues to grow. And at the same time the trap is valid for up to six months. And all this time there is no need to further treat the house, and the cockroaches will die.

Traps have many other advantages. Their main advantage is that these devices are absolutely safe for people and animals: the possibility of any poisoning is reduced to zero. They are also convenient and quick to install. This distinguishes traps from gel and aerosol.

Installation Rules

For an area of 10 sq. m need to install 2-3 traps. A standard pack of 6 traps is enough for an average apartment. It is enough to simply place the products in places most frequently visited by cockroaches. For greater safety, they are installed in places inaccessible to children.

Reviews

Irina, 26 years old:

“I, like many others, can’t stand cockroaches and am afraid of them. I was very upset when I noticed this creepy insect in my kitchen. After a little investigation, we found out that the parasites came to us and to the neighboring apartment from our common neighbors on the site. After talking with a neighbor, I learned that she successfully fights a cockroach infestation with the help of Raptor traps. I took her advice and that same day I bought 2 packages with 6 boxes each at the nearest supermarket. A surprise awaited me at the checkout - I paid only 320 rubles for 2 packages!
At home, we placed traps throughout the apartment, paying special attention to the bathroom and kitchen. After about a month, the insects completely disappeared. Now I can safely turn on the light at night, without fear of the Prussians crawling away in all directions. Now I recommend Raptor traps to everyone who has also encountered a similar problem.”

Stanislav, 34 years old

“Recently, uninvited guests - cockroaches - came to our apartment once again. Every day I observed a couple or three insects in the apartment. At the store, the salesman advised me to purchase Raptor traps to get rid of parasites. One package (8 traps) cost me 180 rubles, which is much cheaper than other means for killing cockroaches. At home, I placed plastic boxes in all the places where I most often saw Prussians, and began to wait for the results. After a week and a half, cockroaches were still walking around my apartment. Having crushed several individuals, I noticed that their insides had a completely unusual white color. Most likely, this happened under the influence of a toxic substance. Then a whole week passed without cockroaches, which I was very happy about. It turned out that it was too early to rejoice! Insects began to appear more and more often, and I had to go to the store again for a more effective remedy for cockroaches.”

Ekaterina, 31 years old

“About a year ago, cockroaches began to appear in our apartment. Initially, we saw them only in the entrance, but gradually the insects began to move into the apartments. Of course, we didn’t like these guests and decided to actively fight them. Boric acid and aerosol did not help get rid of these nasty insects. I heard from colleagues at work that Raptor cockroach traps are a good help in coping with this problem. Since this is a fairly well-known brand, I didn’t think twice and bought the drug. I posted all 8 pieces all over the apartment. I’ve been waiting for a month and a half for the cockroaches to start eating the bait and infecting their fellows. So far the effect is not visible. Even if we take into account that the drug has a prolonged effect, something had to happen within a month. And during this time I did not see a single dead insect. I come to the conclusion that these traps are absolutely useless.”

Gel "Raptor"

Raptor cockroach gel is no less effective than an aerosol and has several features.

Compound

Gel Raptor

The drug contains the active component lambda-cyhalothrin. This insecticide is not so common, but it is effective. The drug also contains food attractants, which act as bait and make the composition attractive to pests. You can also find a preservative in the composition, which preserves the activity of the components, and a gelling agent, which retains moisture and prevents drying.

How does the gel work?

The active component has a detrimental effect on the central nervous system and causes paralysis. But the effect is delayed, so that the infected pests, unsuspectingly, return to their habitats and infect other individuals. As a result, the entire population dies.

Advantages and disadvantages

The gel has a number of advantages:

As reviews show, the product is really effective. It allows you to destroy all pests. The gel form is characterized by low toxicity and relative safety for animals and people

The active components do not enter the air, therefore they cannot penetrate the respiratory tract or mucous membranes (provided there is no close contact with the gel). Since the gel contains food attractants, pests will definitely pay attention to it. Long lasting effect. Since the gel does not dry out, its activity remains for a long time. Ease of use

It is enough to apply the composition to the surface. The narrow spout of the tube makes application very convenient.

Minuses:

Not the most economical expense. One package is enough to treat a room with an area of no more than 10 square meters, which is less than one average room.
This form is not suitable for quickly eliminating pests; complete destruction may take several weeks.

How to use?

The gel is applied to the feeding and following areas of the cockroaches with a dotted line (about two centimeters of the composition and about 2-4 centimeters of free space).

The cost of a 75 milliliter tube is about 230-240 rubles.

Follow the instructions when using
